I started with Rambo when I had a rat die in my crawl space (very stinky). This had happened several times before and I had used a different pest control company. This time I called Rambo. They came out and looked at the situation and said to me something no other pest control company had. "We won't just set traps. You need to have the ways they are accessing the crawl space fixed. We can do that for you." They came out and fixed the various ways the rodents were getting in to the crawl. They did an excellent job making the repairs required. They also did it at a fair price. If you are in their working area...this is the company to use.
Description of Work: Removed dead rats in crawl space. Actually fixed entry points for the rodents . Then followed up with quarterly treatment / inspection with bait stations and traps.

Response from Rambo Total Pest Control
Thank you for your kind words Member. It is always a pleasure working with you. Rodent-proofing, or "Exclusion" as we call it, is the foundation of each of our rodent control programs. We always have an eye toward the future when it comes to preventing these problems from recurring. Thanks again!

They were responsive and we liked the guarantee. They said that if the bees were still evident in two days to call them and they would come back at no cost. They said they would be sure that the bees were gone no matter how long it took or how many treatments it took. The initial one did it. We looked at some other things and they were very reasonable. We were happy with the price. They were very punctual.
Description of Work: We used Rambo Total Pest Control to remove bees in the ground. It wasn't a hive that we could see.

Rambo was very professional and friendly at the same time. We appreciated their concern about our dog. We needed him away from the house while they were spraying and then needed to wait about an hour after that. We were able to get a mutually agreeable appointment very quickly. The representative was very punctual and easy to talk with. We trusted that we were in good care! Our ant problem is gone.
Description of Work: We had an initial treatment for outside ants on our home. After that, I believe it was 3 more treatments every other month.

Rambo Total Pest Control did a great job! The inspector, Russ, showed up within the specified time frame and gave me a very thorough run down on what he had seen during the inspection around the house and in my crawl space. I had been worried about potential infestations as I had seen what I believed to be some frass (bug poop) in my garage. After taking a look around Russ informed me he saw no signs of any current infestations (he did find a small group of dead ants in my crawl space from a while ago, but nothing current). He informed me of my options through Rambo and was not pushy for me to select an on going maintenance plan immediately. I am glad I hired Rambo to do this inspection. There's something to be said for hiring the smaller companies who take pride in their work. I will definitely use them in the future and recommend them to my family and friends.
Description of Work: After noticing some potential areas where I had increased bug activity, I requested a general inspection of my home to be able to have peace of mind about not having any bug infestations.

Russ from Rambo came to our home when we realized that we had a rodent problem under our house. He assessed the situation, gave us a detailed estimate and went through everything that he recommended we do. The prices for the efforts were very fair and reasonable. After authorizing the work, Russ set traps, and even built a new door that did a FAR better job sealing access to under the house. The previous door, he explained, had a small enough gap that it would actually still allow rats and mice to enter the house. The new one he built bolts closed and makes a tight seal. He also double-reinforced the vents under the house because due to the age of the house they were just week enough that the vents could be pushed open, allowing furry undesirables to get into the crawlspace. All of the work was done over a set of 3 visits. The sealing, trapping and under-house decontamination. Russ was an absolute professional and completely courteous. Rambo Pest has a customer for life.

I called because they were advertising a free estimate. They then told me there would be a 50 dollar inspection fee and would knock $50 off the service call if hired. They went on to say that my project might be out of the norm so they would not honor the free estimate. Due to the miss understanding I decided to use someone else, however he is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions.

Response from Rambo Total Pest Control
Typically our "Free Estimate" applies to identifying an insect specimen or other similar matters. We have changed this in our Angie's List Company Profile to more accurately reflect what we offer. Please try to focus your attention on the overwhelmingly positive reviews from customers who actually hired us to do pest control for them. We removed the "free estimate" offer from our Angie's List Company Profile the very next day after this customer brought it to our attention. We apologize for her inconvenience. The situation described to us over the phone by this customer was far from standard and in our experience, these types of situations don't often turn into paying accounts. While we would love to offer free services all day every day that is not a recipe for success in today's economy. Typically we go into detail over the phone on what we offer and what an accurate ballpark figure is for those services when a potential customer calls, and once we are hired we put a tremendous amount of energy into creating and maintaining a satisfied customer base. Sometimes, in situations that deviate from the "norm" we do have to charge an inspection fee. In this case I offered to roll that inspection fee directly into the initial cost of our services. I personally spent close to 20 minutes discussing the problem in detail and sharing thoughts with her in two separate phone conversations and I hardly believe a grade of "F" is appropriate. We work hard to maintain our reputation in this competitive market and for the most part we are successful. When we fail in that attempt we make changes, which we have here by no longer posting that we offer "free inspections". Again, please focus your attention on the reviews posted by customers who actually hired us to fix their pest problems. Luke Rambo, owner of Rambo Total Pest Control

I purchased this home last fall and after finding several abandoned bees nests in the attic over the winter I was a little concerned. I am very allergic to bees. By allergic I mean I have about 20 minutes of Epi-Pen before I need to be in intensive care. Also after moving in I discovered the builder of the home did not exactly take the most ideal ways to prevent insects from entering. I know how to make the retrofits to insect proof the eve's and crawlspace vents, but I decided to call Rambo Pest control to come consult and evaluate my home. Luke and his associate came out and thoroughly went through the attic and crawlspace and declared it no worries. He then advised me to make the retrofits and I shouldn't have any interior bee/Insect problems going forward. I tried to pay him but he would not accept anything. I was absolutely shocked as Luke and his associate spent about 2 hours evaluating my home, showed up in in two vehicles (gas expense). I was literally check book in hand ready to write in an amount and Luke still declined to charge me anything. I will definitely be calling Rambo Pest Control if I encounter any future problems.

It’s a small company with three or four employees. We never had any pest problems. Last fall, we noticed some damp wood termites swimming around and they knocked those down. The workers were very professional and courteous. Basically what they have been doing is, coming and treating the exterior of the house. So they don’t even need to be here. I think we are sensitive to the products that they use and we can confide it makes more sense just to treat the outside. They are good. I would keep using them in the future.
Description of Work: I use Rambo Total Pest Control. We had them come out initially to look at the termite issue that we had. They took care of that and we set them on a regular recurring basis. They did the work probably a couple of months ago. When they come out and do service, I pay $80. What they do is, treat the exterior for spiders.

A few months after the illness & death of my husband, I heard noises in the wall next to the fireplace. The next day I noticed a large hole in one of the vent screens on the back of the house. I called a different pest control service but felt his estimate was really high, and I just didn't feel comfortable with the things he said. I called Rambo for a second opinion and was immediately impressed with the professionalism and integrity that I observed. They did not pressure me to buy a service contract, and did several things that the other company had said would cost extra. I was so impressed (and reassured) that I decided to have them return quarterly for maintenance--and I did not have to commit to a contract, I can cancel at any time. Nick is the technician who comes out to my home quarterly and he is always excellent; professional, polite, thorough and accomodating. I highly recommend Rambo Pest Control to everyone.
Description of Work: Cleaned & disinfected crawlspace under house that had been seriously infested with rats. Luke & his team were very thorough, and spent an entire day cleaning out the mess and replacing the destroyed insulation with new insulation. In addition, Luke replaced all of the damaged vent screens and placed multiple bait stations under and around the house. They built & installed a new door to the crawlspace and carefully explained everything to me. At the end of the project they cleaned up after themselve so well I couldn't even tell they had been there. They came back to follow up about a week later to check everything, and then again about two weeks later at no additional charge.

I'm completely satisfied with the end result and the service that Rambo provided. The crawl space was transformed from a disaster into an immaculate space. Luke, Nick and another Rambo employee were all courteous, punctual and professional in every way. We are continuing to use them for followup checks to ensure we don't have the same crawl space issues in the future.
Description of Work: We had a rodent problem that was apparent in our crawl space mainly because of the smell that was creeping into our house. In the crawl space, we noticed some droppings and some insulation was on the ground instead of the ceiling. We didn't know the extent of our problem, and it turned out to be more serious than we thought. Rambo cleaned out the crawl space, replaced all the insulation, sealed the space to prevent future intrusion, replaced the vapor barrier, made repairs to the heating ducts, and even constructed a new entry door to the crawl space. They also set traps, and Luke returned the following week to check and reset the traps.

Service was very good in the beginning when Luke was performing the work. It completely turned around when Nick came onboard. We have dogs so we need to be contacted in advance to put the dogs inside while the service is performed. On several occasions, Nick would make an appointment, I would take off of work to be here to bring the dogs in and then he wouldn't show up. This happened the last 3 or 4 visits so I finally cancelled my service with Rambo. They are just plain unprofessional. Tonight Nick showed up unannounced to pick up the rat traps that I paid for and was included in the initial $600 fee.

Response from Rambo Total Pest Control
We try to maintain clear and honest communication with our customers. What happened between Rambo Total Pest Control and this particular customer is clearly not the normal practice of our company. It is our policy to contact all of our customers, who are on a regularly scheduled Pest Prevention Program, prior to service. Unfortunately this customer was difficult to schedule and unresponsive to several attempts at scheduling. We would ask that you focus your attention to all of our other reviews, which have many good things to say about Rambo Total Pest Control. We value our customer service and try to schedule customer appointments at their convenience, but cooperation on the customer's end is also appreciated.
